DAGENHAM maintained their position at the top of the table with a comfortable victory at Burton.

The Daggers got off to the perfect start when veteran striker John Taylor scored from close range after just five minutes.

Dagenham extended their lead shortly after the restart when Mark Janney volleyed home Chris Moore's cross from the left.

Albion pulled a goal back just after the hour with player-manager Nigel Clough making a rare appearance on the scoresheet.

Craig Mackail-Smith made the game safe for Dagenham with a sweetly-struck shot that nestled in the top corner after 75 minutes, but they had Ashley Vickers sent off for a second bookable offence shortly afterwards.
